Kisses on Selene's cheek wake her from her sleep. She moans, leaning into the touch.
"Good morning, beautiful." A husky voice whispers. Selene wraps her arms around Liam's neck and pulls him into a sloppy kiss. Liam hums in contentment, his fingers gliding over Selene's hips as his tongue glides over her bottom lip. As the two lovers fight for dominance, Liam rolls on top of Selene, his hands running over her body. His fingers become daring, slipping to the globes of her ass. "I'm not ready to mate.."
Liam kisses her forehead. "Wasn't trying to, love. I promise I will wait for as long as you need."
"Even though I let Toby mark me?" Selene eyes his beautiful sapphire ones.
Liam scoffs. "As long as I am the favorite." Selene giggles. Every sound Selene
Alpha Aaron storms in, his eyes falling on Selene in the vampire's arms. His eyes flash black as he stalks towards the bed. "Dad, stop! Luke saved me!"The Alpha freezes. He is shocked at the name Selene called him: Dad. A host of emotions bubbles through the tough Alpha's exterior. How he longed to hear those words from Selene's mouth. A cheesy smile breaks on his face, and a shocked gasp leaves his lips. He is thrown by her admission that he almost forgets the vampire. He composes himself and returns to his rigid Alpha pose. "A vampire saved you?""Yes. I was being attacked...and Luke protected me."Luke quirks an eyebrow at the vague explanation.Aaron knows his daughter is withholding details. He shrugs it off for now and turns to Luke. "You have my gratitude...?""Luke." The vampire holds out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Alpha." Aaron nods in greeting and pulls up a chair to her bedside. "Why are you in my daughter's bed?""Cause I asked him to, dad." Se
Hands run up and down Selene's sides. Smiling, Selene looks into the sapphire eyes of Toby. He mirrors her smile, gazing tenderly down at her. His fingertips graze over her cheek, slowly moving down to her jaw. "You're so beautiful," Toby murmurs, his smile never leaving as his eyes memorize her face. Selene lifts her hands to cover his, kissing his fingertips. "You're not so bad yourself." Toby leans down and ghosts his lips over hers. Selene sighs at the tender touch. Before Toby can deepen the kiss, a loud sound comes from the door. "Can't leave you alone for five minutes, eh?" Liam leans down and scoops his mate into his arms. "Toby, Mathias wants to chat with you. I'm taking our mate to the Alpha's wing." Toby rolls his eyes, annoyed at the interruption. He leaves without another word, eager to get back to her."Alpha's wing?" Selene tightens her grip around Liam's neck. "Your parents want you here until this whole mess is over. Mathias gave them a rundown. It seems the fa
LukeLuke slips to the cold, dank cell floor, bunching his long legs against his chest. He leans his head against the wet wall sighing in resignation. Perhaps this was his penance for his mistreatment of Selene. How could he so callously disregard a second-chance mate? Footsteps approach his corner of the dungeon, followed by the sound of something being dragged. The guards shove an unconscious body into the cell next to his. A groan rings out. Nora lifts her eyes and spots Luke. She releases a blood-curdling scream, but the guards ignore it, walking back to the dungeon door. "Stop, you screaming mutt, or I will have an early dinner." Luke rolls his eyes. H"You tried to kill me!"Nora whimpers, her back burying into the iron bars. "Yes, because you were going to kill Selene." Luke scoffs. He has had enough of her. He turns his back, looking ou
SeleneSelene runs out of her room, looking behind her shoulder and giggling. She had woken in her bed, pinned down by a playful Toby. Before he can kiss her, she pushed him off her, initiating a game of chase. As she hits the landing on the stairs, she feels a strong pair of arms lift her. She squeals, throwing her legs up. Toby smacks his lips against her cheeks, walking toward the kitchen. He sits at the dining table and pulls Selene on his lap. "Good morning, lovers!" Diana cheerfully greets. "Could you control yourself in public?" Aaron grumbles. "Show some respect for my daughter!""Leave them alone, they're young. Remember whe we first became mates?" Luna Beth smacks Aaron's shoulder as she serves pancakes. "I'll let you two share a plate." She winks at the young couple. "Thanks, mum!" they chorus. Aaron glares at Toby, forcefully
A knock on the door wakes Selene. She smiles at Toby's sleeping form, enjoying how his hair fell in his face as he lightly snores. Another knock interrupts Selene's gazing. Toby's eyelids flutter, a smirk forming when he sees her."Good morning, baby." Toby's fingers wrapped in her hair, pulling Selene into a passionate kiss. They are interrupted by a loud knock. "Selene? It's past dinner." Morgan's muffled voice announces. Toby groans, falling back on the bed. "Curses!" Selene curses, throwing on a shirt and yoga pants. "Be back soon, baby, or I might come to find you." His promise is so full of desire and of lust that Selene feels her pussy tingle in anticipation.She crawls out the door, blocking Morgan's view of her naked mate. "Oh! I forgot to grab Luke's dinner." Selene realizes she passed the freezer full of blood bags on their way to the dungeon.
Grace She could feel it. The minute her plan hit a snag. Her breath hitches as a vision of a young wolf marking Luke presents itself. No. Dark clouds began to form on the horizon of her beach paradise- heaven created for her sacrifice. Her anger building each passing minute. How could that she-wolf do such an unforgivable act? Her sweet Luke, the loving vampire she had left behind. How she begged the Goddess Selene to grant him a second-chance mate! Were all her prayers for naught? How she prayed for her Luke to find someone to love and cherish. She had to go down there and fix this! Grace closes her eyes and begins focusing on Luke, visualizing his smile, laugh, and cold embrace. "That would be unwise, Grace." A beautiful voice whips around her. Off in the distance, two forms shimmer into existence. Grace sighs and waits for the two Goddesses to join her. Danu is the first to greet the wit
LukeHe didn't see it coming. His back was turned, watching the hall for his beautiful hybrid. Something sharp stabs his neck, and the ground rushes up to meet him. Arms wrap around his shoulders, slamming his head against the bars. When he recovers consciousness, Nora is staring down at him with a triumphant grin. It only takes a second for him to feel it-a a mate's mark.That insolent she-wolf! Just as he is about to attack her through the bars, a loud sound behind him grabs his attention. "Selene...." he tries to reach for her through the bars, but she backs away, horrified at the scene.After a short confrontation and The Alpha's judgment on Nora, he stood outside with Selene's family, watching as tears fell down Selene's face. That annoying pup- Toby, is glaring daggers at him as if he could have prevented the crazed sh
"Are you alright?" Aaron turns his attention to his daughter. Selene pushes out of Toby's arms. "I'm fine, but I need alone time with my mates. Where is Liam?""Sweetheart, he is at Beta training." Aaron sighs. Beth wraps her arms around her Alpha's waist. "Surely Liam has a night to waste? I think it's important that Selene spend an evening with both." "I'll call in a favor." Aaron agrees with her. "Let's go inside. We need to talk." Toby and Selene follow the Alpha to the packhouse, making their way to Aaron's study. Beth sits next to her daughter while. Toby sits on her other side, pulling her on his lap."Sweetheart..." Alpha Aaron gently starts. "Spill it, dad," Selene says gruffly. "Just rip off the bandaid." Aaron smiles at her bravery. She was definitely like her mother-stubborn and willful. "Fine. Luke suggested something before the witch took him. Cleo made a strategic move, by marking and taking Luke off the table, she severed our link with the Thorne vampires.
1 year later "Jo!" Gracey jumps in the vampire's arms as he rounds the corner. Jones had just come home from the Thorne Castle. Shortly after Selene's essence was returned to her, Luke had reinstated his friend as Lord of Thorne Castle. Of course, Jones took the mantle with Luke as his right hand and Selene as his Queen. He couldn't rule without her and he didn't want to become the bloodthirsty Jones of the past. He had a family now- a mate to cherish and a little pup to watch grow. Jones collapses to his knees and easily picks up the giggling three year old Gracey. He playfully growls, throwing her into the air and catching her. "Princess. What a welcome. Am I early?" Gracey grabs his large hand once she lands on the ground, pulling him behind the twin's cabin. Behind the house, a large barbeque was set. Wonderful smells of meat cooking and his mate's lemon and sea breeze smell flirt with his nostrils. Morgan is the first to see the two friends round
"No!" Grace's screams break through the shrill night. Danu had witnessed Carman's murder at the hands of Selene. Grace threw herself at the goddess's feet begging for Selene's forgiveness. Her men formed a wall around her, shocked at the rapid spiral their wife's life had become. Anger, disappointment, and betrayal flooded the mate bond. Selene stared back at them, her eyes devoid of emotion. The Selene they knew was no more and in her place stood a monster capable of inflicting an Armageddon that would make Cleo's vision of the future look like a cakewalk. A crackling sound vibrates through the air. Selene looks toward the sound puzzled and freezes when she finds the owner of the laugh. Carman crawled through to her feet, joy written on her face. Next to her, Cleo appeared, wearing a similar expression. The two women high-fived. "Did you get it?" Cleo crows to the goddess. "Like candy from a baby." Carman crooned. The dark goddess pulls a glowing jar from her gown, hold
Blood ran through the streets. Wails and screams echoed off the city walls. Dehmans, monsters, and devils ran around, maniacally laughing as they chase their prey through the darkness. Selene sat above it all, watching as her new reign of terror unfolded. In the short month after Cleo's defeat, Selene had spread chaos throughout half of Danyrus. Kill after kill her army conquered small villages and towns that lead to Poppyfield-Danyrus's capital. With her new rule, Selene decreed that anyone outside after nightfall was fair game or food to her friends. Despite her dire warning, there were citizens who refused to hide away and they paid the price with their blood. Carman applauded Selene for her ruthless reign, after all, it was Carman's demand that Selene does her bidding until she saw fit to free her. Selene was delighted in her new role as Danyrus's tormentor. Her human and wolf parts faded into a back corner of her mind, locked in a glass casing. "Lady Selene! We have brought you
A soul for a soul. It is the steep price Selene paid. Her Liam was free, but she could never see him again. At least, that is what Carman tells her as hiding near a small village where Cleo resides. Had Selene waited, Carman would have happily lifted Liam's Wendigo curse when Cleo's head was on a pike. However, since Selene was so impatient for him, another contract had to be made. For the price of curing Liam before the war, Carman would take Selene as hers. As Selene listened to the Goddess's explanation, she couldn't imagine why she used to care. Sure, good Selene would have screamed at Carman for the lie, but dark Selene wanted to grovel at the Goddess's feet. Carman had freed Selene and bestowed the gift of unlimited power to her. She was no longer tethered to being a wife, a mother, a daughter, or a sister. She could do whatever she desired. "How are you feeling?" Carman asks the hybrid as they leer at demons guarding Cleo's cottage. "Amazing." Selene cackles. "Why did I r
Liam wakes up in a silver cage. He hisses at the pain from the silver chains digging into his skin. What happened? How did he end up in a silver cage? Liam takes in his surroundings, noting he was in a dark cavern lit by a few torches. "Hello!" Liam yells out. His voice echoes in the room, the sound carrying down the cavern hall. Silence greets him. Liam tries to mind-link Toby or Selene, but the silver around him renders his communication useless. Suddenly, loud footsteps approach his cell. A loud growl makes Liam jump to his feet. A yellow-eyed dragon leers at the wolf, a twinkle of joy at Liam's weak state. "Oh, looks like the monster turned into a dog. Suppose I should inform Paiste or that witch."Paiste? What was Liam doing in the Dragon's Belly? "Where is Selene?" he demands of the Celtic Dragon. The guard's face falls. "Queen Selene? She's planning for the war. Hold on mutt, I called Paiste." A short time later, Paiste and Toby appear in the cavern room. Toby's face l
Kisses on Selene’s shoulder draw the hybrid out of her sleep. She feels hands everywhere. On the globe of her breast, her ass, and her pussy. Selene moans as fingers enter her, rubbing against her G-spot. Opening her eyes, she watches Luke’s sensual eyes devour her whole. “Luke, Toby stopped. Today is the day.”It was like cold water had been poured on the two men. Their hands snap back to their bodies, and there are quickly filled with concern. Today was the day Selene and Carman would meet. Today was the day Liam would finally come back to them. Selene crawls out of her spot between her two mates, walking the short distance to her waiting clothes. Looking back, she groaned in displeasure. Her two handsome mates were staring at her, bodies on display. If only Jones was with them in bed. After their explosive reunion and Maddie’s horrified discovery of where Selene and Jones re-mated, a family meeting was called.Gracey was beside herself in
"Can I kiss you?" he asks, his hazel eyes full of hope. Selene's resolve to keep him at a distance crumbled with his passionate plea. "Yes." Her voice comes out deeper, huskier as her eyes flick to his lips. His mouth smashes against hers- the pent-up desire finally released. Selene moans and melts against his body, wrapping her arms around his neck. Jones parts her lips with his tongue, a hand winding in her long dark hair, the other cupping her ass. Goddess, how he missed her tight behind! Their body melds together as their passionate kiss continues. The hand tangled in Selene's locks glides down her back until it is cupping her ass. He lifts up, pulling Selene around his midsection. The hybrid wraps her legs around his waist, soft little mewls escaping her lips. Jones's lips leave hers, moving down to the throat, kissing and sucking on the skin. The sweet smell of her blood enraptures his nostrils as he glides past his favorite spot- where the shoulder and the neck meet.
"Jo!" Gracey squeals when she sees her new friend walk into her parents' room. The last week had been busy. After Toby and Luke had been released from the doubt curse, they were by Selene's side every moment. And if the sounds from her room the first night they returned are any indication, their bond was fully intact. A pang of jealousy stabs Jones. He wasn't jealous of his brothers' relationship with Selene; rather, he craved the affection she gave so freely to her men. Even Liam- a full monster, received her undivided attention. How Jones longed for her touch, her morning kisses. While his relationship over the last week had improved with his former mate, it still felt like a punch in the gut when he remembered his betrayal of the beautiful woman."JO!" Gracey brings the vampire out of his head. Jones beams at the small pup, crouching down to her level. "Yes, princess." Gracey throws her small arms around his neck, joy flowing through her at seeing Jones. The vampire ch
Darkness. That's all Liam feels. His mind has been reduced to that of a rabid animal, his wolf long turned into a beast that murders its own. His first kill was euphoric, freedom like he had never experienced before. He had cut his ties with his own kind with the first bite into that rogue's flesh. A monster inside him had been unleashed, but somehow Liam had held on to a piece of his soul. It was locked away in the recesses of his mind, screaming at the horrors his body brought on wolves and humans.His monster only found solace in Cleo. The Wendigo had become the dark witch's pet and trained weapon. Liam was sent to Cleo's enemies, those she deemed worthy of an antagonizing death. Now here he stood in a valley below the Danyrus Mountains, wolf bodies strewn about. Cleo demanded Selene's head on a platter, and Liam would not disappoint. Her scent led him here, and his Wendigo craved to go inside the
